Sans Lingua Franca?; From The E3 Trailer

At one point, Skull Face says "Sans Lingua Franca". This is the definition according to Wikipedia. Wiki Article

The literal translation would be "Without Lingua Franca" or "Without a bridge language".

So, it would seem that Skull Face wants to derail any attempt to come up with a common language that native speakers of other languages could share, which seems to be in opposition of Zero's goal.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Not for any nation. Not for any ideology. Not for justice. Not for honor. Not for power. Not for the future. Not for love. Not for peace. ONLY FOR REVENGE.

What I posted in another thread:

Quote:

Skull Face
 
With this, I rid the world of infestation. Sans lingua franca, the world will be torn asunder. And then, it shall be free.

Sans = without
Lingua franca = a language that is adopted as a common language between speakers whose native languages are different. A bridge language.

Zero sounds like he is seeking to overcome language and cultural barriers. Skull Face is opposing his efforts. So when he is talking about "with this, I rid the world of infestation", he is referencing his actions to try and ruin Zero's efforts.

Without a language or means to patch the confusions between different languages/cultures (Lingua franca, whatever Zero is doing), then the cycle of revenge will continue ridding the world of infestation. The 'infestation' he is talking about is the human race. Skull Face has a very twisted notion of freedom. When he says liberty, think something else. If Skull Face told you he was going to liberate you, you would fucking run screaming.


Skull Face's lines in this trailer confirmed for me what I already suspected he was after. He wants to perpetuate the cycle of revenge, global conflict, war, and endless suffering. Its his way of getting revenge against all of humanity for what happened to him.

I don't know what exactly the "lingua franca" is supposed to be, I'm not sure its just a language though its referred to as one here. I think the bridge between languages aspect of it may be just one aspect of Zero's plan.

I would say this type of post is served well enough in the theories thread, no need for a new topic.
